I tried the 'file path' option first, before posting. I am assuming that the default info filled in under that heading in the options menu is sufficient, and that there isn't anything else that needs to be entered. Anyhow, I'm willing to be a guinea pig if it helps the community. Let me know if you have any additional suggestions.
I'm going to take you up on that offer. When you enable the internal GPS receiver (via the command line or the built-in wayfinder application), please open an xterm and run the following command:
Code:
ps | grep gpsd
Let me know what the output is. That will help me work a solution for the N810's internal GPS receiver.
Maybe I broke something, but the expected behavior is for Maemo Mapper to bring up the "Manage Repositories" dialog automatically upon first start. That's where you specify the Map Cache DB location. It's possible that I broke the "first start" detection code....
I recall some first start routines, and I actually read the quick start... or scanned it at least. I guess it is possible there was a prompt to pick the location... I don't recall it but I may have been more interested in just getting started and going with the defaults. If so, my bad. Maybe someone else could confirm.

Of course, I'm sure most people just breeze right through that dialog. They probably also press "Cancel" when Maemo Mapper suggests that you read the "Quick Start" help document....
...and that's a shame, too, because MMapper is one of the very few free, third-party apps for the ITs to come with a genuine help file, and on top of that it's a really extensive and well-written one !
gnuite: Finally got round to installing and using it. GPS fixed acquired a bit faster than usual, which I know is probably not due to MM in any part, but I just wanted to make this clear. The only "bug" I found was that sometimes the hourglass didn't show up, and sometimes I ended up with two hourglasses (I think this happened only with the Google Street maps).
Keep up the good work.
With this OS2008 version, I cannot even begin to get a fix? (no blue bar)
will check when its daylight and weather is better as its dark, cloudy & raining at the moment as it could just be me, user error
OK, so when I tested it this morning during drive to work, it worked flawlessly, my sincerest apologies gnuite for jumping to conclusions.
I quite like the idea to make the selection of where the maps are stored (Internal/External memory) a clearer obligatory prompt on completion of install, as this will ensure users change path at first install of MM on their devices.

I got it to run on the N810 by using running Wayfinder first and using the gpsd server option.
Without wayfinder running the apps running after the grep are
